Happy Friday friends! I've been all about wearing comfy dresses lately, but sad to see all the pants and shorts I have go to waste because they wouldn't fit my expanding waistline. So, I finally broke down and got a Bellaband…the pant lifesaver. Now I can get a bit more use out of them…hurrah! I'm so happy to be able to wear my green pants again! Hope you have a great weekend…I am off to get some fried chicken with friends before wrapping up my work day… — Joy
Also, Congrats to Clara H. from San Antonio, TX {#1683} for being our lucky winner of the Kate Spade giveaway! Thanks so much to all of you who took the time to answer the survey. We have another fun giveaway coming Tuesday…

Oh the bella band saved me during- and after pregnancy! They are so worth the small investment! Love your pants- and the shoes!
I have to say – that is brilliant! And $30! No buying new pants and you can wear all your favourites! Thanks for posting; I’ve sent it on to a few pregnant friends, already.
I’m far from having children, but I’m still thrilled to see that a product like bellaband exists! you look adorable 🙂
Hi Dyanna,
Yeah, I have no idea why I waited so long to use it! Ha!
Thank you!
Joy
You’re lucky that works! My hips definitely spread and my thighs and butt got too big to pull up my pre-preggo pants pretty quickly! But you’re lookin’ cute 🙂
You’re on the verge of being too cute! You look great preggo! I loved my bellaband too! It works magic, like smoothing out any hangover in the love handle region…buaha. Doesn’t look like you have that though!
I have been wondering if I should get a Bella band and now I know I should!! You look so cute!
Well, you look adorable! Can’t wait to see how you dress Baby Girl Cho! Enjoy that fried chicken 🙂

Oh you are sooo cute!! Those pants are so fun!!
Haha I was going to say the same thing as mj. The band wouldn’t work for me because my ass got so fat. And probably from my newfound pregnant lady fondness of sausages more so than just being pregnant. So go on with your tummy-getting-bigger-but-ass-stays-the-same self! 🙂
You. Are. ADORABLE!!!
You are beyond cute, Joy! Something tells me your baby is going to be such a chic little girl!
Happy weekend!
love the color! Joy, your hair is so long now!
OMG you look great in those green pants!! love th shoes BTW. 😉 Tiff
Joy, you look adorable! I’m so excited and happy for you! xo
Oh wow, you look so great!
Well, you are just the picture of cuteness! What happy green pants!
you seriously make the cutest little preggo lady!
Happy weekend Joy!

Hi Joy!
I love your blog and to see your work on graphic design.
I´m an architect who´s thinking about starting a career on graphic design, but have no idea how to start! I know it´s a very open question, but what would you suggest me to start with? Graphic design softwares, for example… photoshop, illustrator, indesign? If I could have some opinion from an expert like you, I´d be thankful.
Regards,
Aline (São Paulo, Brazil)
you look adorable, Joy!
I think I need one of those bands for my food babies 🙂 you look great Joy!! Love the green pants!
ok! you are ADORABLE!!!
I’m not saying anything new here…but seriously…you look Great!! I hope I look 1/2 as beautiful as you do if I am ever pregnant! It’s awesome to see a woman totally embracing & celebrating her pregnant shape 🙂
You look so adorable!
I have one as well, saves me from buying more maternity pants for work.
thx for posting about the bellaband! i’m looking to buy it now..i’m 22 weeks pregnant (right behind you!) – good luck on your pregnancy 🙂 girl or boy?
you look stunning. i see you only grow a belly and nothing else! 😉 have a great weekend
you look so cute! i think i’m 3 weeks ahead of you (almost 29 weeks) and sadly i haven’t worn any of my pre-pregnancy pants/jeans/skirts for a while. I got away with the rubberband trick to hold up jeans for a bit but had to retire both the rubberband and the jeans after i realized i was probably flashing everyone when my shirt lifted up! haha.
Chic Mommy!
If you aren’t the cutest thing!! Love the pants! Hot Mama!!
You are so cute! I love the green pants, by the way 😉
I love that you’re still wearing heels! You’re so cute!

You look adorable
I love your outfit for 25 weeks, you look gorgeous. I look forward to seeing your yummy baby girl following her mummies footsteps and looking the same
Have got the same pants from zara, aren’t they just the perfect shade of green? You look gorgeous, and have been loving your pregnancy progress photos! xo

Hi Joy!
I love your blog and check it daily, I’m a graphic designer working in Cincinnati, OH, so i always love all of your posts 🙂
I have been desperately looking for those Zara green pants FOREVER! I’m guessing you got them at a store near you, but do you know of any way to get them online? I would love some help!
Thanks
Ashley
Hi Ashley,
Yeah, I got them at a Zara store, as they dont sell online. Id call around to some stores in your area and see if they can check store and if any of the stores have them. They can prob ship to you from a store if they find them. Otherwise, Id try ebay and do a saved search that way if anyone is selling theirs, youd be alerted 😉
Best!
Joy
MJ Kelly,
You guys are too funny…thanks though!
Well see what happens in a few months! ;P
Joy
thanks so much guys for your nice comments! 😉

Hi Amy,
Were having a girl. And congrats to you! 😉
Joy
You are lookin’ too cute…and full of JOY!
Can I just say that it’s totally unfair that you are able to pull off skinny pants while pregnant and still eat fried chicken? 🙂 You are too cute!
Aww… You look lovely! Such a blessing.
Nice : )
If I am half as cute as you when I’m pregnant, I will be one happy mama! I hope you are feeling well and enjoying the journey. She is going to be one lucky little lady : )
Bellaband saved me too when none of my pants fit. I had 1 pair of maternity jeans and didn’t want to waste $$ buying anymore.
You look adorable!
You are so cute preggars!! Love the graphic top and the skinny belt!
Hi,
I am 25 weeks also, isn’t it exciting!
I love the shiny spots on your background wall of this photo, I would love to put these into my nursery, where did you source them from?
I am loving your baby nursery ideas, so inspirational.
Thanks
Rebecca
Thanks for sharing this! My sister is expecting her first in December and she’ll be so thrilled she doesn’t have to buy more new pants that will be too big afterwards 🙂
